Colibrium reviews

To really grow, you have to elbow your way into opportunity. There are possibilities, but one must be driven to push himself to expand into those roles/ opportunities (and one of the managers frowns on that). Morale and culture have been rocky (early 2014) which isn't expected to last into summer with some of the changes. As you can see by some reviews, things have been fluid for a month or two which people are unhappy about. I know there have been executive decisions which will resolve all these issues by June or so; but that period was a valley for a company. There are small company challenges like no education stipend and sometimes project work takes priority over the non-billable. The company's movement to function as something close to lean has been a very slow progress. The industry of healthcare insurance has been slow to pick up IT and was hurt financially by the ACA rollout October 2013. Most of that pain reared its head around Feb/March -- so the client's industry slowed vendor Colibrium down a little bit. Overall, the clients have been a bit 'surly' and the management of expectations went haywire as the issuers panicked throughout obamacare implementation.

Avoid this company at all costs. They lie during the hiring process to lure you in. Developers: There is no career path, you get stuck in a job and that's the end of it. There is no SDLC, no code reviews, poor testing, no training, very little documentation. Management doesn't communicate downstream and doesn't attend meetings. You're expected to show up and work. You'll never know what's going on outside of the next release date. Most of the employees are highly skilled and driven, but everyone is set up to fail. I've never seen a more depressing workforce look so defeated on a daily basis. More often than not, you go home feeling like you worked your hardest yet didn't accomplish a thing. Frequent employee turnover has resulted in too many hands in the project. The code base is a mess and every day is a scramble to address customer emergencies. The customer dictates the release cycle.
